Chapter 159 Household Magic
Anton and Anna had a great day at the Burrow.
A voice from an old radio by the pool - "Next is 'Magic Hour', performed by the famous witch-singer Celestina Warbeck."
Aunt Molly was a good cook.
Uncle Arthur is very talkative.
Percy is very motivated, oh, self-motivated is a good word, and like Anton, he shuts himself in the room and works hard every day.
But George and Fred said that Percy often let out a foolish laugh in the room, which didn't sound like reading.
They've recently developed a similarly elongated ear, and it may not be long before they can figure out Percy's secret.
And Harry and Ron, the group went to a Quidditch game on the hill behind the Burrow.
Anna is very fond of the Weasley family clock.
A wall clock with many magical functions on the wall.
There is a relatively large one with nine golden needles on it, representing each family member, all pointing to the position of 'home' at this moment.
Another one has only a silver needle on it, no number, and something like "Make tea, feed the chickens, you're going to be late" is written on the clock face.
Anton borrowed a lot of books from Aunt Molly, and he saw many interesting books on the mantelpiece.
"Magic Your Cheese", "The Magic of Baking Bread", "Conjure a Feast"...
Anyway, it was such a good experience.
Anton always looked at everyone quietly with a big smile on his face.
only……
He found a problem.
Compared to the Weasleys, I don't seem to be a normal person.
Oh, it's only now that he realizes that his family has to bear a lot of responsibility, because none of his family members are normal people.
If you're not a normal person, you're not a normal person, it doesn't matter.
It's just that Anton has discovered the problem for a long time.
It was as if a mirror appeared and told Anton what was normal, and then he suddenly fell into the mood of self-examination.
Fiennes said that wizards are gods.
Voldemort said that only madmen deserve to be wizards.
They are all very powerful theories, but they all seem to be living a bad life!
Anton found that no matter whether it was a god or a lunatic, they had ignored an important premise-the wizard is a person!
A normal person will not stuff another person's soul into his own mind, nor will he seek stimulation to join some dangerous people every day, and he will not use time to switch in just a few hours. It's been a long, boring year.
Excited?
In this state of mind, Anton doesn't know why he always thinks of some videos he saw in his previous life - the series with few foreigners.
The high emphasis on letting the mind go to extremes and controlling powerful emotions in order to obtain extremely powerful magic power caused Anton to become less like a normal human being.
Like a god, like a madman.
Not like a person.
It is said that practicing black magic will make people crazy, and now Anton discovered that the same is true for white magic. If a person is extremely determined, if he is extremely happy, if he is extremely relaxed...
It is almost certain that he is a lunatic!
There are still a lot of normal people in this world. No wonder the power gap in the wizarding world seems so outrageous. Some Aurors in the Ministry of Magic can't even cast the Iron Armor Curse well, but people like Dumbledore are so awesome.
There is a monster school in Hogwarts, and there must be few normal people who can become professors.
Very powerful.
But Anton didn't like it.
So after returning to Ten Thousand Flowers Castle on the outskirts of London, Anton made a plan to find his original heart.
Not only the original intention of learning magic, but also the ecstasy of gaining a new life after time travel.
Why ecstasy, just because you can live a more exciting life than your previous life?
of course not!
...
Anna and Nagini were told by the crazy Ilsara to explain various flower languages, and they planned to decorate the entire castle with flowers.
Yes, the wedding will be held in Wanhua Castle.
The time is ten days later, the first three days of school for the children.
Pedro finally bows his head and admits his failure, he is not a business material, so the proud goblin bows to the werewolf.
Lupine was willing to help, and together with Rozier, who knew nothing but black magic, the three went to the fairy factory to do a big job.
On this day, only Anton and the old wizard were left at home.
"I experienced death once, when I woke up from the altar and became your apprentice."
"I call that time my freshman year."
The old wizard held his head in his hands and was silent for a moment, "Obviously, I am not a good person and have done too many bad things."
Anton waved his hand, "I'm not talking about these grievances and grievances with you. I mean, in this life, yes, in this life from that day onwards, the first thing I do successfully is the first thing I do."
The old wizard wondered, "Kill me?"
Anton smiled and shook his head, "It's steamed buns and noodles!"
"I didn't know it before. I just loved food shows and watched many, many shows." He waved his wand, and all kinds of pots and pans flew around, "Under the threat of death, I tapped all my potential, and I actually made it. Already!"
"That's because you know how to cook, which is useful to you, so the Cruciatus Curse you usually use on me is not so deadly."
"It's the less deadly Cruciatus Curse, over and over, that makes my soul that way."
"And these, in the end, became my talents."
Anton shrugged, "This is the interesting part of fate."
The old wizard still couldn't understand. He watched Anton waving his wand to stir the flour and water in the air, with a puzzled expression on his face, "So you plan to remember the bitterness and sweetness, and make some noodles to eat?"
"Do not!"
Anton picked up a thick book on the table and turned the cover to the old wizard, "The Magic of Baking Bread".
"Bread! Lupine is getting married, and I'm going to get some nice little bread for their wedding."
"!!!" The old wizard resisted, "Oh~ God~ Are you crazy? Household magic?"
"My stupid apprentice, the more you learn, the more you go back, to study such a boring and useless spell! No! It can't even be called a spell!"
Anton smiled, "No, you don't understand!"
He stroked the cover, "This contains the mysteries of life!"
"..."
"boring!"
The old wizard made a judgment! "Waste time, waste your life!"
"Human life is only a few decades, even if it is longer, it will be more than a hundred years old. This is the law of nature. In history, few attempts to cross this limit by magic have good results."
"In such a limited time, if you don't pursue the mysteries of magic, what kind of family magic are you talking to me about?"
"My stupid apprentice is really crazy!"
Anton just waved his wand with a smile, stirring the flour, water, eggs, yeast and other ingredients quickly.
"I've found that household magic is the closest thing to primitive magic."
"They don't have spells, no gestures, only magic that moves with your heart." Anton raised his eyebrows, "Teacher, do you know what this looks like?"
The old wizard froze for a moment, "What does it look like?"
"Like when the magic power is awakened, the little wizards naturally use the effect of magic."
"Back then, magic was an arm, not a house-elf."
Anton waved his wand, and the temperature around the dough became warmer, and it was expanding visibly.
"We let magic be our help, rather than we leave everything to magic to solve by itself."
"The wizard is the main body, and the magic power is the auxiliary. This is completely different from the magic spell. The magic spell pays attention to the will and orders it to complete all the steps by itself. Now, we let the magic power help us complete the steps we want."
"The process of releasing magic in this way allows us to experience what we really want."
"..." The old wizard said that he couldn't understand. He felt that even if he could think, he couldn't understand what the child said. He is now passionate about everything in life, just because he can't do anything else except play in the world.
If he could think, he would definitely spend all his precious time on research.
This apprentice seems to be useless.
Ps: In the original book, Rowling talked about the clock that pointed to the status of family members, and there was a conflict. She said it was a grandfather clock (grandfather clock) and said it was a wall clock. It is a grandfather clock in the movie, but in view of the plot in the original book that Molly cares about the safety of her family and carries this clock with her, it is still defined as a wall clock. Ps2: "The Chamber of Secrets" describes the Burrow for the first time, and it mentions the wall clock that is similar to the memorandum alarm clock.
